spatchcock's Note:

From Cooking Light. Terrific recipe--tastes even better cold, the next day! The snow peas and mung sprouts were my own addition, so feel free to leave them out. Perfect to take to lunch the day after serving for dinner!

The new Chinese restaurant here in Opelika, Alabama makes this and I'm so glad to find it here at zaar! Wonderful curry taste and so easy to adjust to your liking. Used shitakes along with the other veggies. Lovely dish and now I can make it at home!

My husband who is Singaporean enjoyed this dish. I'm not from Singapore so i've been trying to find some recipes to remind him of home. I omited the bell pepper, added shitakes and bamboo shoots. Very healthy dish and very easy. took me about 1/2 hour.
